Budget 2009 was tabled in the House of Commons on January 27, 2009 and confirmed the Government of Canada’s commitment to strengthening the Canadian economy through targeted investments in infrastructure and capital projects.

Budget 2009 provides Fisheries and Oceans Canada with almost $400 million in areas where we can have the most direct, beneficial impact on the Canadian economy. As a federal department with a strong presence throughout Canadian communities and waters, DFO’s investments will strengthen local economies, create jobs and enhance communities.
